Career
Walsh wrote the book Women's Rights in Democratizing States: Just Debate and Gender Justice in the Public Sphere, published in 2010. The book confirms and advances findings that democratization does not generally increase women's participation in politics, as political institutions and parties often block women's advancement during these transitions.[3] However, by introducing a new variable regarding debate conditions, and by means of paired comparisons of particular periods of democratization in Poland, Chile, and South Africa, Walsh shows that open and inclusive conditions for debate during democratization periods can increase the state's support for advancements in women's rights and inclusion.[3]
Walsh has published on women's representation and rights in democracies in journals like Politics & Gender,[4] PS: Political Science & Politics,[5] and Comparative Political Studies.[6] She has also published articles on research ethics,[7] and on the status of women in the discipline of political science.[8]
Walsh is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review,[9][10][11] which is the most selective political science journal.[12] She was also the 2016-2017 president of the Women's Caucus for Political Science in the American Political Science Association.[13]
She is a Faculty Fellow at the University of Notre Dame Institute of Advance Studies for 2020–2021.
